Calories so far: 1322 ;appx left: 78 calories left. I think I’ll have 1/2 a cup of raspberries (25) and 1 sf fudgesicle (40) to finish off the day.
gahh, i still think i need to add one more “something” to my lunch or snacks during the day, because I think it’s too much to have half my calories left for the evening, and I’m never ravenous after the gym. I think I will add a fruit to my lunch. either strawberries or a plum or an apple or something that will give me some natural sugar. i’ll try that tomorrow. i think i’ve almost got the perfect balance. i think leaving 500-600 calories for dinner and evening snacks should be perfect.
WORKOUT: such a good workout today! 1 hour 4 min on the elliptical, and 55 min weights and abs. i may start running within the next few days, but I decided if I don’t start before then, I will start on thurs/friday when I am home for the weekend, because I only have a treadmill and some hand weights there, so it will be the perfect time to really focus on running for a good 2-3 days without being able to cut it short and do the rest of my gym routine.
overall, very good day!
